Career. Porges's "The Shadowsmith" was the cover story for the September 1960 issue of Fantastic. As an author, Arthur Porges was most prolific during the mid-twentieth century, publishing most frequently in mystery magazines. He wrote many essays and non-fiction articles.

Highlights include "A Specimen for the Queen" (a sequel to "The Ruum" which is reprinted here for the first time ever), the provocative title story, poignant pieces such as "Priceless Possession" and "Irresistible Attraction" and the wildly imaginative "Degree Candidate."
A sequel to "The Ruum", titled "A Specimen for the Queen", appeared in the May 1960 edition of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
